This is the week of October 29th, 2005
NINA SIMONE!!! (If you want to know what to know what I think about Nina Simone click on the link for a personal essay: Nina Song). This week we’ve got two live versions of Nina’s signature interpretation of "I Love You Porgy." Plus a bunch of remixes by Joe Clausell, Kerri Chandler, Mo’ Horizons. And cap the set off with a trio of innovative interpretations of "Four Women" featuring Talib Kweli, Joy Denalane and crew, and, of course, Nina herself. Enjoy!

Time for a walk on the wild side of the road. We kick it off roaring thru with Fishbone, and then kickback deep dub stylee with Rhythm & Sound and Sly & Robbie. And we close with Erykah Badu’s delineation of what it means to be a southern girl, abetted on the one hand by Rahzel’s beatbox and on the other hand by Opolopo’s remix. Sometimes we feel like a nut….

Thelonious Monk and John Coltrane, this is as classic as classic gets. Sixty-something Nona Hendryx is as contemporary as contemporary gets. And then Mtume drops Les Nubians’ afro-French cover (backed by The Roots) of a Nigerian-British song. Meanwhile, New Orleans is still heavy on our minds as we try to keep rolling on the road.
